There is none like to the God of Jeshurun, who rides on the heaven in your help, and in his excellency on the sky.
27 El Dios eterno es refugio (tuyo), y tu sostén son los brazos eternos. El mismo expulsa delante de ti al enemigo, y dice: “¡Destruye!”. Israel habita en seguridad, la fuente de Jacob brota aparte, en una tierra de trigo y de vino y cuyos cielos destilan el rocío.
The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before you; and shall say, Destroy them.
Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be on a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.
29 ¡Dichoso tú, oh Israel! ¿Quién como tú, oh pueblo salvado por Yahvé, el escudo de tu auxilio, y la espada de tu triunfo? Tus enemigos rehusarán reconocerte, pero tú hollarás sus alturas.”
Happy are you, O Israel: who is like to you, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of your help, and who is the sword of your excellency! and your enemies shall be found liars to you; and you shall tread on their high places.
